Roberto Ruiz, 24, of Fullerton, was booked at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of robbery.

Ontario officers took Ruiz into custody about 6:45 a.m. after he was located in a neighborhood south of the 60 Freeway in Ontario. They detained Ruiz, a parolee, who had an undisclosed amount of cash in a Carl’s Jr. bag.

Chino police had been alerted just about 6 a.m. by an alarm activation at the restaurant. Officers saw a blue, two-door, 1990 Buick LeSabre leaving the parking lot at a high rate of speed and entering the eastbound 60 Freeway.

Police gave chase but lost the Buick, which was traveling up to 90 mph. Another driver who saw the chase alerted police to the location of the vehicle in a shopping center parking lot just off the freeway.

It was then that Chino police got word that Ontario has taken Ruiz into custody.
